Independent newspaper 9 May 2014

TUSC’s local election campaign finally reached the national print media today with a short article in The Independent.

Under the heading, ‘Crow’s party to launch challenge to Labour’, Andy McSmith reports on TUSC’s 560-candidate challenge on May 22nd.

While he argues that TUSC is unlikely “to win more than a handful” of council seats this month and is “too small to represent a threat to Labour”, he also says “that could change” in the future, as “Len McCluskey, head of the massive Unite union, has hinted it might break links with Labour” at some point.
